Thank you Suzi. You did not miss anything, I did not give the details on the background. I have a large french script stamps that I stamped on white paper. then I distressed the paper using Antique Linen . I stenciled it some of the dots in red using distress ink.

I love that you create your own backgrounds...I wish I was better at that. And so glad you've found a way to channel your love of your Mom into your crafts so you can spread the love around. Such a beautiful gesture. She is very proud, I'm sure. Thanks for sharing. And happy early mother's day to you!

These are really beautiful cards. I lost my mother four years ago, so I didn't have anyone to send Mother's Day cards to, but I have a new daughter-in-law this year along with with a new granddaughter, so I will be doing a card for her. Thanks for the inspiration.

Teresa, thanks for sharing about your journey with making mother's day cards. I lost my father 3 years ago and I was thinking some of the same things about making father's day cards. I am glad that you made these beautiful cards and have shared them with us. I will have to look out for the taupe aged enamel embossing powder!!!

Love the flowers and the butterflies in this Never Lose Sight kit! Beautiful cards! Love the added dimension on the first card and the pretty background! Lovely flower! Pretty layering and texture on the second card!

Your card is STUNNING! Thank you for sharing this and the personal story about your mom. I love that you have gotten to a place where you can share the love with your grandmother and other family members like this. :)

Beautiful work. It is very important to spread positive messages and appreciate those who are still with us. I spend far more time with my mom now that my dad has passed than I did when they were together. Nothing replaces the hole in your heart, but finding ways to celebrate their lives makes each day a bit smoother. Sending you Hugs and happy thoughts. Cards are good therapy.

My goodness, it's been about 10 years for me too :( We have no grandmas in our families, so I always feel a little sad when I see Mother's Day stamps/projects. I LOVE your idea of including other moms, I think I'll make some Mother's Day cards for my sisters this year :) Thanks for your inspiring project and kind words <3
